Information is emerging that US B-2 Spirit bombers have set off toward Guam in the Pacific Ocean and may later be moved to the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
According to reports in the US media, six B-2 aircraft that took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri are heading toward the US base in Guam. It is alleged that these aircraft will later be transferred to Diego Garcia.
According to a report by Fox News, the aircraft performed mid-air refueling after taking off from Missouri. This situation indicates that the aircraft are carrying heavy payloads, and it is believed that these payloads could be bunker-buster bombs.
Experts state that B-2 aircraft can carry the 15-ton bunker-buster bombs possessed by the US and that these bombs could target Iran's Fordo nuclear facility. The Pentagon has not yet made an official statement on the matter.
In the past, the US carried out operations against Houthi targets in Yemen from Diego Garcia. This base could also be used in a potential strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.
Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East have risen due to Israel's attacks on Iran and Iran's retaliation. Whether the US will become involved in this conflict remains a subject of debate.
